I agree this is how we see it as it does seem to occur every time. It's not always true and there must be other examples:

Newcastle VE day 

Sheffield Wednesday league cup

Ipswich FMC

 

 

 

 

 

Wembley against Charlton

Millenium against Spuds

At home to Plymouth

It took me a few rings to get through on the 01254 372000 number. It just kept ringing out.  

That is the number for the pole dancing club on Bolton Road.  They open for action at noon ready for the Rovers players to have a pre-match warm up routine.

Hope for once we turn up when the pressure is really on, another Barnsley would be catastrophic.

A win has us within 2 points of 3 teams at worst. A loss could see us back to 5 points adrift. Whopper of a game!

 

Dont think this is right, with burton playing brum, the absolute worse case scenario is that we will be 3 points adrift at the end of play today. Not a total disaster. I do think we will not lose today though 

[Gav]

Far to many extenuating circumstances to place this match in any other bracket than possibly the biggest game this season, but no more than that in my opinion.

We have a brain dead striker and his bit on the side all over the Sunday papers. Minutes from a meeting published last night that shows we've already mortgaged next seasons season tickets to keep paying the brain dead striker, and the club higherarchy on the ground here in Blackburn that don't know each other's name and between them are taking over £1m a year in salary out of the club.

So whilst the games important and I hope we win, we have much bigger problems that will still be here long after today's match and probably long after the seasons over.

This club cannot move forward whilst those rats in Pune run the gaff.

Ps - Bristol City only bringing 1000 fans, how cr@ps that?

Which brain dead striker Gav?  What has he been up to.......is it a local girl / boy (must remember to be PC these days)?

It's Owen Coyle's fitness coach putting the lad's through their paces. If you cling on long enough a load of ring doughnuts come down the pole as a treat..

Is that the Anthony Stokes shocker? He would look better with a beard instead of a two tone beaver on his chin.

I apologise in advance for taking this slightly off topic but didn't no where to post and need a quick answer. I really want to go to today's game but have my three yr old. Can they freely roam around the family stand or do they have to sit still the whole game.

You'd be fine mate kids tend to roam around a bit with no issues, my only problem is the lady next to me sometimes rolls her eyes or seems annoyed when my lads a bit silly. 

Rover the dog tends to wander as well so they get chance to go and see him 

On the game it seems we have barely entertained the idea of a draw

Good point well made, a win would be massive. Let's get it!

Not quite sir. Worst-case scenario is we lose, Forest and Burton win, and we end the day 4 points adrift of 4th bottom Brum. And if Wigan win we end up 2nd bottom.

But that's not going to happen. 

[LeChuck]

Whilst mathematically we'd still be in it, I think realistically we're down today if we don't win. It's all about momentum now, and the feeling of deflation after Forest, coupled with tougher games, means I think it'd be very unlikely we'd pick up minimum two wins from three required. 

Ideally, I'd like Burton to beat Birmingham too. They've been plummeting for a while now and that dressing room bust-up last week is probably their final make-or-break moment. Lose today and I think they're done for.

The bit on the side is his girlfriend actually. And someone hacked her icloud account.

Ahh yes, forgot brum picked up a point on friday.

Agree though, cant see that set of results happening. I actually think Burton will be third bottom tonight.

Is Rovers Player not doing pre match coverage for home games any more?

[tomphil]

First off don't concede time space and a very avoidable goal in the first ten. Get amongst them from the off and let's have a captains performance from the captain not the usual rabbit in the headlights when gets the ball.

You couldn't be missing the point more if you tried chaddy.

Enjoy the game

Where is 'Mystic Mercer' when you need him?

I need to know what the score is going to be and hear how many bottles of red wine his bets will buy him tonight.

We need to win more than Bristol City do and that will be the difference.

3-1 to Rovers.

Just for you Preston Blue

Which lead to his pregnant girlfriend finding out he was having an affair with "The bit on the side.......".  Disgusting morals.

I hope our very own 'Mystic Mercer' is right.

If you hack most lads'/girls' phones of that age you'd find photos like that, hardly makes him brain dead.

And yet for a long time now various managers and now DoFs at Rovers have banged on about getting the 'right sort' of person/player in. Mind bending bull.
